Browning A Bolt discontinued???

[pitpenz83]

I have been looking around for a Browning Micro in 22 Hornet and have had several dealers tell me that the A Bolt is not available anymore and is being replaced by the X Bolt. Is there any truth to this?

the original ABolt was the only good ABolt..then they had to put a sleeve over the bolt to make it drag more and less smoother to operate..then they do a mercy killing of the ABolt and replace it with something even more inferior....sounds like the accountants are running the shop...much like Winchester in 1963.........

Yes, the A-Bolt is on the way out. There will still be a few models available in 2010 but in general it is being replaced by the X-Bolt.

I picked up the Lebaron's winter catalogue for 09-10 and I recall that it had plenty of Abolts in it

They do have some listed but what they list and have in stock might be two different things. I've been waiting on a Abolt medallion in 7mm since march, thats on order from Dante's and even then they told me to be patient.

Actually the A-bolt (1985-1993) was replaced with the A-Bolt II in 1994
The A-Bolt II seems to be soon to be replaced by the X-Bolt.

Try and find an A-Bolt II Micro Hunter (Browning Item Number 035020206 ). Browning still lists this as a current model with a US MSRP of $819.00 US.
